ENERGY ANALYSIS OF "SAFE HOUSE" BUILDING AND ENERGY IMPROVEMENT BY HEAT PUMP IMPLEMENTATION

Abstract

Last few decades energy consumption in buildings increases. With a higher population and bigger requirements for comfort, energy needs grow exponentially. Concerning dispensation of the reserves of many energy fuels and energy ineffective work of HVAC systems, their optimization must be done. In such optimization, particular care should be taken not to damage thermal comfort. In order to promote the improvement of energy efficiency in buildings, for example, the Safe House building in Belgrade was taken. A system of hot-water heating with radiators and a heat pump as an efficient source of heat is designed. Afterward, the energy performances of the building were determined and an analysis of the energy consumption and CO2 emissions was carried out for the implemented system.
